Abstract: A stylus device is disclosed that provides a low power and low latency methodology of detecting a touch down event. In an aspect, the stylus device monitors an output of a pressure sensor of the stylus device using an analog comparator, a low power consumption component. When the output of the pressure sensor is greater than a first threshold value, thus indicating physical contact between the tip of the stylus device and a surface, the stylus device determines the output of the pressure sensor using an analog-to-digital converter, a higher power consumption component, to obtain a more accurate measurement of the pressure detected by the pressure sensor. When the output of the pressure sensor is less than a second threshold value, for example, indicative of non-use, the stylus device reverts back to monitoring the output of the pressure sensor using the analog comparator.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for monitoring use of a tip of a stylus, determining an amount of wear of or life remaining in the tip, and notifying a user when to replace the tip are disclosed. The tip should be replaced to avoid an abrasive material of the tip from being exposed and contacting a touch screen or other surface of a computing device to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the touch screen or other surface of the computing device. The computing device or the stylus device may perform one or more of the monitoring, determining, or prompting steps.

Abstract: A stylus device is disclosed that is capable of changing its output so that it can communicate and function with a multitude of touch controllers of a computing device. In an aspect, the stylus device receives a message including the configuration information from the computing device. The configuration information may include an encoding scheme corresponding to a format for encoding data to be sent to the computing device and an operating frequency. The stylus configures itself in the encoding scheme, and communicates with the computing device using the encoding scheme. For example, the stylus device may encode data using the encoding scheme and send the data at the operating frequency.

Abstract: A removable stylus tip for use with an active stylus. The tip is capable of exchanging electrical communications with the touchscreen of a computing device. The tip includes a conductive core to transmit signals between the stylus body and a cone-shaped end of the stylus core. The cone-shaped end is covered with a coating to protect the tip and the touchscreen device. The coating is a composite material configured to allow electrical signals to pass through the material as well as to provide mechanical protection to components of the tip and touchscreen.

Abstract: A stylus device is disclosed that is adapted to change its operating frequency to accommodate for a changing noise environment. In an aspect, the stylus may communicate with a computing device using a first frequency. However, when a different frequency having a better signal to noise ration than the first frequency is available, the computing device may send a message to the stylus device to switch to a second frequency. For example, the stylus device may receive a message from the computing device including an indication to communicate with the computing device on the second frequency. The stylus device may configure itself to operate at the second frequency and communicate with the computing device using the second frequency.
